What Are Laminate Veneers?
PLaminate veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells (typically 0.3-0.5mm thick) custom-crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth. The term "laminate" refers to the layered bonding technique used to attach these delicate yet durable shells to your natural teeth.
Unlike standard veneers that may be 0.5-0.7mm thick, laminate veneers are designed to be as thin as possible while still providing excellent aesthetics and durability. This allows for
minimal tooth preparation – preserving more of your natural enamel compared to traditional veneer

Q: How much do laminate veneers cost in Korea?
A: At Seoul Today Dental Clinic in Goyang, laminate veneers start from ₩600,000 (approximately $445 USD) per tooth. Premium feldspathic porcelain laminates range from ₩800,000-1,000,000 per tooth. These prices are 50-70% lower than laminate veneer costs in the USA ($1,500-$3,000 per tooth).
Q: What is the difference between laminate veneers and regular veneers?
A: "Laminate veneers" typically refers to ultra-thin porcelain veneers (0.3-0.5mm) that require minimal tooth preparation. Regular or traditional veneers may be slightly thicker (0.5-0.7mm) and require more enamel removal. Laminate veneers offer the most conservative approach while still using durable porcelain.
Q: How long do laminate veneers last?
A: High-quality laminate veneers at Seoul Today Dental Clinic typically last 10-15 years with proper care. Many patients maintain their veneers for 20+ years with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
Q: Are laminate veneers better than composite veneers?
A: Laminate (porcelain) veneers offer superior stain resistance, durability (10-15 years vs 5-7 years), and natural aesthetics compared to composite veneers. However, composite veneers are more affordable and can be completed same-day. The best choice depends on your budget, timeline, and aesthetic goals.
Q: Do laminate veneers damage your teeth?
A: Laminate veneers require minimal enamel removal (0.3-0.5mm), which is a permanent change. However, this conservative preparation preserves most of your natural tooth structure. The veneers actually protect the underlying tooth from further wear and damage.
Q: Can laminate veneers fix crooked teeth?
A: Laminate veneers can improve the appearance of mildly crooked or uneven teeth by creating an illusion of alignment. For significantly crooked teeth, orthodontic treatment (Invisalign or braces) is recommended first, followed by veneers if desired.
Q: Do laminate veneers stain?
A: Porcelain laminate veneers are highly stain-resistant – more so than natural teeth. The porcelain surface doesn't absorb stains from coffee, tea, or wine. However, the bonding cement at the edges can potentially discolor over time, which is why good oral hygiene is important.
Q: How many laminate veneers do I need?
A: This depends on your goals. For minor corrections, 2-4 veneers may suffice. For a complete smile makeover, 6-10 veneers (covering the visible teeth when you smile) is common. During your consultation at our Goyang clinic, we'll recommend the optimal number for your situation.
Q: Is the laminate veneer procedure painful?
A: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during treatment. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days after, which is normal and temporary.
Q: Can I get laminate veneers in one day?
A: For select cases, same-day laminate veneers are possible at Seoul Today Dental Clinic thanks to our in-house laboratory. However, most laminate veneer cases require 1-2 visits over 5-7 days for optimal results.
